Chairman’s Note
The 29th JECKU TEM
October 19, 2023
Yantai, ChinaThe 29th JECKU Top Execu ve Mee ng was held in Yantai, China, on October 19,2023. more than 100 chairmen, presidents, CEOs and other high‐level
representa ves from shipbuilding companies in Japan, Europe, China, and South
Korea a ended the mee ng.
At the mee ng, representa ves from all par es carried out exchanges anddiscussed topics including the development situa on of the shipbuilding industry
in various countries and the world, the macroeconomic situa on, raw material
price trends and labor supply and demand. Each party’s representa ves alsointroduced the development trends of market segments for ship types. The results
showed that the current global new shipbuilding market has shown more vitality
than the previous decade (2011–2020), and the average annual volume of neworders has increased signiﬁcantly. Under the inﬂuence of emissions reduc onrules, the green transforma on of the global ﬂeet’s shipping capacity structure isalso accelera ng. The pace of transforma on will be accelerated in the future tofurther support the sustainable development of shipbuilding industry.
In terms of invited experts sharing, the economic expert believes that the current
global economy growth slows down by increasing uncertainty and challenges,
which may aﬀect the business sectors. The BIMCO expert believes that themari me industry is facing the challenges from various aspects such as economy,environment, rules, technology, and safety. In addi on, the expert from ASEF
introduced the latest policy developments in the interna onal mari me ﬁeld, suchas the IMO MEPC 80 conference.
Facing the future, the conclusion of those par cipa ng in the mee ng was thatthe new GHG emissions reduc on targets of the IMO and EU will accelerate theprocess of global shipping emissions reduc on and bring about the reshaping ofmarket, industry, policy and ﬁnancial resources. The global shipbuilding industry
will also face new challenges from shipowners, cargo owners, ports, ﬁnance andother related par es with demands for higher technical levels and eﬃciency andmore ambi ous goals. The demand for comprehensive emissions reduc on

solu ons including ship green technology and equipment solu ons is ever moreurgent. In the future, new products provided by shipyards and equipment
suppliers based on new rules will subvert the tradi onal mari me ecosystem andpromote new development of the industry.
Faced with mul ple challenges and opportuni es, JECKU agreed that the world’s
major shipbuilding countries should strengthen exchanges and coopera on,
deepen the sustainable development of the global shipbuilding industry andjointly cope with various challenges. JECKU should elevate coopera on to a newlevel, while safeguarding the common interests of shipbuilding enterprises in thesurvival and development, and keeping the fair and sound compe ons among
